Armed Forces / Re: Help with medal information, please
« on: Saturday 17 May 25 16:35 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Shaunj

I can not lie, I did get excited when i thought it was the George cross ;D

I think it was the reference to the Gazette that made me think it could be possible.

The good conduct makes sense he had a very record.

Thanks again

Armed Forces / Help with medal information, please
« on: Saturday 17 May 25 16:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Please could someone help if possible.

I have my Grandfathers service records.
Claude Bottomley born 1909 Bedfordshire. He signed up in London 1929 and was in the Army for many years. (East Lancashire Regiment)

I know he had the French and German star and Defense medal.

On a record from 1947 (hopefully attached) My Grandfather had received the LS and the GC medal.

According to the abbreviations that came with the service records, the LS was for long service and the GC was the George cross? (could the GC have another meaning)

If it was the George cross how can I find out more information. there is a reference to the London Gazette on the service record.

(AO list No 3 supplement to the London Gazette No 86 July 47)

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Wow Thank you all so much

So excited. It is looking like they are the same person.

Thank you again
Merry Christmas. :)

Lancashire / Whittle are they the same person?
« on: Tuesday 24 December 24 12:20 GMT (UK)  »

This is a long shot but worth a try ;)

I have an Agnes Whittle born 1815 Preston Lancashire.

I found the baptism of her son.

Baptism: 16 Jul 1843 St John, Preston, Lancashire
Richard Whittle - [Child] of Agnes Whittle
    Abode: Workhouse
    Baptised By: J O Parr Vicar

I noticed her address states workhouse I found an Agnes Whittle on the 1841 census living at Ribchester workhouse with two other children.

Agnes Whittle 25
Joseph aged 5
Peter aged 1

I am unsure if they are the same person, I have found Agnes and her son Richard on later census records but no Joseph or Peter so I am unsure if I am on the right track.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Occupation Interests / Re: Help with information about Architects

Thank you all for your help.

I am doing the family tree for my sons partner for Christmas.

She doesn't  know a great deal about her family history so it's been difficult to find information. She just knows that Cyril was an architect and worked abroad most of the time.

I have looked at passenger list but have had no luck.

Thanks again

Hi
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I am searching for information about a
 Cyril Richard Jones.

I have his Birth/Marriage and 1939 Register details.

Cyril was born in 1936 till 1998 Preston Lancashire, I have been told he was an Architect mainly working abroad. (Possible the Philippines).

Is there anyway I can search for more details about Cyril and his line of work.

Thanks

Thank you hanas

I just assumed it was Fulwood barracks because it is the only one I know in Preston.

New Hall Lane is in the Fishwick area.

Thanks for your help.
